Vester Koza

Vester Koza makes dance music that's as deep as it gets.

Since 2012, the Londoner has cultivated a highly atmospheric signature style by releasing four 12"s on his Maslo imprint. They explore the dusky climes at the outer edge of house and techno and are perfect for those listeners who want to submerse themselves.

The Maslo drops have earned Vester Koza gigs at on-point UK parties like BleeD, The Hydra and Find Me In The Dark and now he's piqued the interest of Houndstooth, the LDN label that's dedicated to releasing out-there electronic music (as well as a few certified bangers, too).

The four-track 'OTR' begins with the slender 'OT_R~cord [4.10]', which is finely-crafted garage that could easily soundtrack a round of 6am spliffs sparked to celebrate sunrise. From there, things dissolve into more uncertain, acid-y territory that'll leave even the most experienced of you on an unsure footing.

We've got the premiere 'OT_R~cord [4.10]' below and we'll leave it down to you to trek on into the brilliant depths of the rest of 'OTR'.

'OTR' is out on May 27 via Houndstooth
